King Charles has big problems with Prince Andrew and Prince Harry

King Charles III, who is still battling cancer six months after being diagnosed, is said to be “going all out” to take on both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry and their various controversies. The Duke of York’s refusal to leave the expensive royal box for Harry’s former home at Frogmore Cottage has become “a thorn in His Majesty’s side”.

This prompted commentators Lee Cohen tell GBNs Nana Akua“Unfortunately, the King has two massive entitlement problems: the Sussexes and the Duke of York. Does he really need these problems in the midst of a massive health crisis? It speaks to his best qualities that Charles is tolerant of the troublemakers in his family. He has been generous to his brother and supported him financially. He doesn’t seem to need a bigger house.”

He added: “It seems that the best option for the Duke of York would be the proposed move to Frogmore Cottage. At present he can no longer afford the upkeep of the Royal Lodge and security.”

The monarch, who celebrates his second year on the British throne on September 8, has been accused of “cruelty” by both supporters and those who deeply despise the disgraced duke, who was once friends with the convicted and deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Responding to this claim, Cohen noted: “It is not mean-spirited to evict Prince Andrew. It protects the integrity of the monarchy and safeguards it from future harm. It provides institutional clarity and focus on the roles of the people associated with the institution. It links privilege with responsibility and sets a precedent for accountability by taking a clear stance on Prince Andrew’s residences.”

He pointed to the evolution of the British monarchy, which is unfolding before our eyes, and concluded: “It conveys that no member – regardless of birthright – is above reproach.”

When King Charles ascended to the British throne on September 8, 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the new monarch was determined to “downsize the crown” at the time. In addition to cost-cutting measures at his numerous royal residences, the king also saw “an opportunity to look like he was scolding evil Andrew,” a palace insider said.

The ruler felt that the former royal and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who has lived in the mansion since 2008, were “wasting resources” on the luxurious 30-bedroom residence. He also reportedly felt that the “jewel in the royal residential portfolio” should go to the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are in line to be the next kings and queens-to-be.

The 64-year-old prince fell from grace in 2019 when Virginia Giuffre came forward and told the world about her alleged experiences as a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of the duke when she was sexually abused at one of Epstein’s estates at the age of 17.
